Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

They say it. Because they have never run a business. Honestly most have no reason to understand how banks charge for cash payments.

For small businesses they also assume the business dose not pay cash into the bank. Also the fact many small store historically charged users for small card transactions. Gives many 40s plus customers a out dated view of how the banks charge. The cash in cash out cash and carry retail business no longer exists. But the fact that many local store used to work that way to reduce costs still effects many customers opinions.

As for lack of data. They say that because it's basically true. All card transactions do store data.
